The White House announced today that President Trump would bring some of the discipline of the corporate planning process to the White House.
The bringing of business skills was presented – optimistically – as a good thing.
However, the White House refused to respond to a question on Herbert Hoover who was the last President to claim business skills as the center of his ability to improve the country. Unfortunately, a legacy of searing literature on economic despair and feel good musicals to distract from unemployment and breadlines is not the stuff of memorable presidencies.
